Hi Jon. Just me again. Shopping again... I have a few different brands, but Harley Benton' quality vs price is making it difficult to shop a different brand. 👍🏁

A realy great looking and sounding guitar in a fantastic shade of Red. And a great neck, the wider and slimmer a neck is the better it is for me, i can't stand Fenders thick narrow necks. And for once the ceramic pickups sound good, but i would be changing them to alnico for more body to the sound. My fingers are itching to buy one. Thanks for another great demo Jon, and for a change a guitar that i would buy.🙂❤👍

The strings are not centered on the neck and the pickups are not centered with the strings. This is a problem for HB and it doesn't make sense because they pay attention to everything else.

[@winstonsmith8240]

The first real guitar bought for me by my parents (rip) after much hard work was a black Gibson les Paul custom, fretless wonder (which being the idiot I am I sold years ago 😭) it cost £364. You couldn't buy a guitar like this HB in those days for this kind of money. Kids today don't know they're born.

Very cool playing, I also liked the unique tone to it. Jon I've read curved fretboards are good for rhythm because it's easy to get notes playing without a lot of pressure, and also read, flat fretboards are easier to get single notes right. In your case, how would you explain your experience for flat fretboards? :). Is it because you are just not used to that flat fretboards?
